Nearby Activities
Yes, The Suites at Bass River Marina are beautiful and using the Suites as a base while exploring the Cape’s beauty and activities will make your travels more enjoyable. The mid Cape location is a perfect starting point whether driving to the upper or lower Cape.
Of course, renting one of these units makes the most sense if you can bring your boat to Cape Cod. Dock space is limited. But, with prior arrangements, you can moor your boat at the marina and walk to the docks every morning before heading into the Bass River. Once on the river, you’re only minutes from Nantucket Sound, one of the most scenic spots on the East Coast. You must contact the Bass River Marina before you arrive to arrange a mooring.
However, you don’t necessarily have to bring a boat to the Cape to rent one of these units. One reason is the kayaking and paddle boarding on the river, which are an adventure all to themselves. All you have to do is walk across the parking lot to Bass River Kayaks and Paddle Boards to rent a vessel, and you can spend the rest of the day exploring the Bass River and its coves.
Or, you can take a fishing trip into the ocean with St. Pete Sport Fishing. This charter company does half-day, full-day, and extended-day excursions, and you can fish for bass, bluefish, cod, and fluke. These charters are an incredible experience, and since they operate out of the marina, you won’t have to go far to meet your captain. Miss Savannah Charters also operates out of the marina, and Emma Jack Charters is located just across the Bass River Bridge.
Bass River Park is an excellent place to enjoy the serenity of the river while you’re in the area, as well. This park features nature trails, green spaces, a boardwalk, and picnic tables. The park isn’t overly large, but it’s a nice place to relax while enjoying some of the Cape’s natural beauty.
Dining at the Marina
Although you might want to enjoy the convenience of cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, there will be nights where eating out is an option. While staying at the Bass River Marina Suites, you’ll find a couple of prospects right on your doorstep.
First, there’s Summer Shanty, a casual waterfront spot with a patio overlooking the docks. The menu here features local favorites like steamers, scallops, salmon, clam chowder, and swordfish, in addition to a one-of-a-kind lobster roll. Summer Shanty has the Cape’s most extensive music library, and there’s a band every Friday and Saturday night in the summer between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m., so you can take advantage of the nightlife if you aren’t ready for your evening to end.
The other dining option near the Bass River Marina is Sundancer’s, which has a classic Cape Cod menu featuring baked scallops, grilled swordfish, a lobster roll, a surf and turf burger, and a chicken sandwich. At night, Sundancer’s turns into a club with music, bands, and even karaoke. If you’re looking for a real night on the town, you’ll be happy to have Sundancer’s a short walk from your vacation rental.
